The Annual Meeting of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) brings together academic emergency medicine physicians from many regions to a single location. Thus, these meetings provide an opportunity for organizations other than SAEM to access the academic emergency medicine community. To take advantage of this opportunity, organizations may hold meetings, symposia, or other "satellite" events at or near the location of SAEM meetings, in the days before, during, or after the SAEM Annual Meeting itself. Such satellite meetings are not SAEM activities and therefore are not sponsored or co-sponsored by SAEM however, these events must be pre-approved by SAEM. . . more info
